Chapter 344 Can Copying Succeed? Same-Sex X? (Subscribe)

While discussing the next publicity strategy for "Why Live" with the publicity department, Zhen Zhuang was a little confused when he received a call from Ning Ping.

"What script??"

Zhen Zhuang was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Lin Xing went to audition today, right?"

Ning Ping said: "Yes, I went to audition, but he controlled the character of Zhao Xiaodao a little too well. He seemed to know everything about the character of Zhao Xiaodao, so I want to ask you if Did you let him read the script or talk to him about the role?”

After hearing what Ning Ping said, Zhen Zhuang was a little happy: "Your script is constantly being revised. I don't even know how your script will eventually turn out? Besides, why should I show it to Lin Xing?" script?"

In fact, after asking Zhen Zhuang, Ning Ping thought this was impossible.

Because he still understands Zhen Zhuang's character. Even when Zhen Zhuang said that he wanted to talk to Lin Xing about the character of Zhao Xiaodao, he also got angry with Ning Ping.

But it was actually Lin Xing's performance as Zhao Xiaodao that was a bit beyond Ning Ping's expectations.

This is not to say that Lin Xing's acting skills are so explosive. After all, for Ning Ping, what an actor needs is understanding, and acting skills can be trained.

If Lin Xing could play Zhao Xiaodao so appropriately with just a piece of script and a humanistic biography, it would prove that Lin Xing is really better than he expected.

"I see."

After listening to Ning Ping's words, Zhen Zhuang said with a smile: "I think Lin Xing really has this ability. I heard Liang Yi say that Lin Xing has a very strong understanding of scripts. Not to mention anything else, even and Which director Lin Xing has worked with has not praised Lin Xing so much?"

Ning Ping nodded lightly: "Okay, I originally thought that he wouldn't come to the interview after you told Lin Xing, but I didn't expect that he would come. And it seems that he is quite serious about this role, and he did work with some just I think artists who win awards are different..."

Zhen Zhuang chuckled softly: "I think it's not a bad thing to want to win awards. If an actor has no ambition, he will not become a good actor. But ambition must be matched by ability, otherwise he will only be able to reap the dividends of the times. ”

"That's true. By the way, will your movie be announced today?"

Ning Ping stopped talking about this. He suddenly remembered what Zhen Zhuang said about the movie "Why Live" which will be announced today, so he asked.

Zhen Zhuang nodded lightly: "Yes, I was just going to tell you. Remember to come when the screening is scheduled in a few days."

Ning Ping said: "Okay."

"That's it for now. I have to continue working on the scheduled promotional posters and videos for a while."

Zhen Zhuang said a few words and hung up the phone, but he really didn't expect that Lin Xing would perform so well.

After all, Ningping's requirements are not generally high.

Now it seems that Lin Xing is really very ambitious. He doesn't take his external image seriously at all.

However, Zhen Zhuang didn't think too much about the next step. For him, the next step was the announcement of the movie "Why Live".

Regarding the distribution of "Why Live", Zhen Zhuang handed it over to Bohai Tianji Film and Television for distribution.

At the same time, the publicity was done by Huahai Film and Television. After all, Huahai had some investment in this "Why Live", and their investment was mainly to promote Liang Yi.

After all, Liang Yi is Hua Hai's newest brother. It was because of Liang Yi that he filmed the movie "For Whom the Bell Tolls", but what he never expected was that Lin Xing became the biggest winner in this movie.

But Liang Yi was not useless, he still got some bonuses.

As for Liang Yi's transformation, Hua Hai has done a lot of work. They originally planned for Liang Yi to gradually enter the film industry. It is precisely because of this that Hua Hai collaborated with Zhen Zhuang to film the film "Why Live".

But as I said before, Huahai Film and Television mainly focuses on TV series, so there is no problem for them to do post-production and publicity, but distribution is definitely not possible.

“I think we can completely replicate the success of ‘Killing Arden’.”

Wang Ning, head of the distribution of Bobo Hai Tianji Film and Television, said to Zhen Zhuang: "Of course, we still have to hold the premiere, and we have to make it special. Other than that, we can completely replicate Lin Xing's road show... …”

To put it bluntly, Wang Ning was almost depressed when he saw the box office of "Killing Arden".

Or maybe Wang Ning thinks that Diane is playing tricks on her? ?

After all, he and Diane have been friends for many years. Wang Ning was responsible for Diane's first two street movies. At first, Wang Ning thought that Diane's movie could be a big hit.

What I never expected was that Diane's movie was immediately hit the streets.

And when Diane came to Wang Ning with this movie, Wang Ning directly stated that he would not distribute it.

But who would have thought that this movie would be a huge hit? ?

Why are you playing with me like this? ?

So when Wang Ning knew that "Why Live" was going to be released in advance and looking for distribution, he directly contacted Zhen Zhuang to obtain the distribution of the film.

For Wang Ning, Lin Xing's "Killing Arden" was just a road show, and then it broke 100 million after a simple announcement, so "Why Live" can also be copied successfully.

What's more important is that "Why Live" basically has some similarities with "Killing Arden" in terms of plot and actors.

Therefore, Wang Ning believes that there is no problem with "Why Live".

Because of this, Wang Ning has almost started to build momentum in the past two days.

The power of the publicity is even slightly stronger than several blockbusters in the National Day period.

But Wang Ning thinks it is worth it.

At present, the box office of "Killing Ading" is basically almost reaching the top. This is a good time to take advantage of this popularity to let the audience take a step up in their understanding of art films.

In this regard, Zhen Zhuang also has no opinion: "Then it's settled."

Fully copy the successful path of "Killing Ading", and go one step further on the basis of copying.

So, there is no reason why "Why Live" won't be a hit, right? ?

At 12 noon, on the last day of September, "Why Live" announced its release date.

"If you have to live a life that you can see the end of, if every day is a dull repetition of life, then what is the meaning of such a life?..."

Even the trailer of "Why Live" is a bit similar to "Killing Ading".

And the one-minute trailer is also Liang Yi's monologue.

"It's not that I don't want to live, I just don't want to live in vain. Who stipulates that life must be carried out according to school, graduation, work, marriage, and childbirth?"

This is an art film with an artistic style.

So once it was released, many literary young people forwarded it, and some people said that I was really tired of such a life.

In short, the trailer of "Why Live" was forwarded more than 10,000 times in a short period of time, and with the forwarding of many main creators, the popularity of this trailer soared.

Lin Xing also forwarded this Weibo, but he did not use the copy given to him by the promotion of "Why Live".

Lin Xing does not think that there is nothing wrong with life following the routine, and he does not like the promotion of some movies now, which seems to criticize the lives of ordinary people at every turn.

On the one hand, they want ordinary people to spend money to buy tickets, while on the other hand, they look down on the lives of ordinary people.

This is wrong.

There are also some movies that criticize parents, teachers, etc. at every turn, and then they even shout out "All parents should watch this movie to learn" and so on.

There are even shouts of "Born as a parent, I'm sorry for you."

You think the audience will buy it?

The current trailer of "Why Live" actually has a little bit of this meaning. If you don't feel it in the movie, but it seems to have this flavor after editing.

If it is matched with the publicity of the actors, it is as if telling everyone: "You are not living well now, hurry up and die."

Crazy.

Lin Xing's slogan is almost the same, so Lin Xing simply didn't use it.

He thought about it and directly forwarded the Weibo of "Why Live" and wrote: "What can't be killed will make you stronger. Let's go to the cinema to watch "Why Live" on October 31st."

Originally, Lin Xing wanted to write: "Let's go to the cinema to watch Qi Liang change his fate against the will of heaven", but he thought that the term "change his fate against the will of heaven" has been used too much recently, so Lin Xing simply wrote something more ordinary.

Anyway, it's just publicity, just let everyone know.

Lin Xing forwarded two in total.

One was from the official V of "Why Live".

One is from Liang Yi.

"Big brother is here to help me promote my movie. I'm dreaming of "Death Knell."

"Lin Xing loves it so much. When has he ever helped someone to forward two Weibo posts in a row?"

"Wow, you Chen brothers are still in love, right?"

...

Many people are playing with this joke.

On the one hand, it's mainly because the movie "Death Knell" is so popular. Even now, there are still some people on Bilibili editing clips of the Chen brothers, and even the eldest sister of the Chen family.

On the one hand, Lin Xing and Liang Yi just gained some attention at the Venice Film Festival with their respective art films, and the two took a photo together.

Then, when Lin Xing's "Killing Ading" was released, although Liang Yi did not go to the roadshow, he still promoted it vigorously.

Even when Liang Yi participated in variety shows, he took the initiative to promote "Killing Ading".

So everyone said that the friendship between the Chen brothers seemed indestructible.

It has been half a month since "Killing Ading" was released. No one expected that "Why Live" would be released again, and then Lin Xing would help promote it.

Isn't it a coincidence? ?

Of course, there are more and more promotional articles for the movie "Why Live". Liang Yi is the male lead in this movie, and Bai Dan is the female lead. Not to mention Liang Yi, Bai Dan also has a large flow and some popularity.

If Bai Dan had not rejected the role of Wu Jingyi before, how could Wang Lu play it? ?

In fact, Bai Dan regretted it very much. She didn't expect that the audience would like the villain. If she knew this, she would play this role anyway.

This time, Bai Dan also had great confidence in "Why Live".

She thought that although she missed "Death Bell", it would be good to enter the film industry with "Why Live".

After all, it is very difficult to break into the film industry. Bai Dan has been acting in TV dramas for ten years. She has already established a place in the TV drama industry, but it is not easy to enter the film industry.

This art film is an opportunity.

At the same time, Lin Xing Studio.

After Lin Xing returned from the audition, he returned to the studio, but Ding Chunling was not in a good mood because she received a piece of news that the play that Lin Xing accepted actually had a homosexual plot.

Originally, Ding Chunling thought that playing Ning Ping's play was good, and it would be even better if she could win an award through Ning Ping's play.

But this premise cannot damage Lin Xing's image, and this image is not only in the play, but also outside the play.

Lin Xing will never help others to promote their status.

This is what Ding Chunling cares about most.

She doesn't want Lin Xing to be fooled into playing a male second to help others to promote their status.

The second is the image in the plot.

Sometimes if an actor plays a bad role, it is possible that the actor's reputation for many years will be lost.

If you don't believe it, look at Yu Yan. She originally had a good reputation among passers-by. She was also full of style in the film industry, and she has always been called a spiritual actor.

What was the result?

When she came down to earth to act in a TV series, she played a queen. At first, she was ridiculed by the crowd. Later, because of the collapse of her reputation, she was directly ridiculed by all kinds of people.

This is caused by the mismatch of roles.

Actors need to cherish their image.

At present, Lin Xing has just made a representative work on the big screen with "Killing Ading", and more importantly, the box office of this art film has exceeded 100 million.

Next, you have to choose carefully, especially movies.

If the second movie can be stable, then everything will be very different.

If Ning Ping's crime-themed film is really completely good, then Ding Chunling will not worry about anything.

But Ning Ping has always been known for his rough acting. The roughness here is not the roughness of himself, but the roughness of the scenes he shoots, which is strong.

Originally, Ding Chunling was worried that Lin Xing's role as Zhao Xiaodao would have a bad image, but after she came back, she got the news that this role had homosexual scenes.

This is not okay.

As an agent, Ding Chunling must have considered the pros and cons. She felt that Lin Xing would not accept such a role that would damage his screen image just for the sake of winning an award.

"I know this."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Zhen Zhuang told me yesterday, but I think everything still depends on the script. Is this scene for the plot or for my own bad taste? There is a big difference between the two, so let's wait for Ning Ping's notice. If he is satisfied with me, then read the script first and then talk about other things..."

Ding Chunling looked at Lin Xing and wanted to persuade him, but she gave up in the end: "Then wait until you read the script."

"Well, if Ning Ping has a notice, then you should ask him for the script first. Even if he doesn't give you the script, you should read the subsequent outline and character biography..."

Lin Xing nodded gently and said, "You are right about one thing. I can't just read a script and act now."

"Okay."

Ding Chunling was relieved when she heard Lin Xing say that.

"Then I won't wait any longer."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said, "I will continue to join the crew directly."

For Lin Xing, the road show in the past half month has actually exhausted him a little, and he is tired both mentally and physically.

But the TV series "Never Breaking Line" is being filmed overtime. Although Lin Xing can join the crew at the agreed time tomorrow, he still wants to go to the crew to see the situation.

As a result, as soon as Lin Xing arrived at the crew, when Xie Qiang looked at Lin Xing, he said, "Okay, where is the makeup artist? Hurry up and make up Lin Xing."

Lin Xing: "???"
